Hey guys!
Lets face it, EVERY horror film fan HAS to have seen Saw!
Its an amazing franchise, especially the first! It was just pure "evil genius".
I loved everything about it, anyone else agree?

No. It's one of the worst "films" I've ever seen in my life. And the fact that, perhaps apart from whatever gore showed up in the uncut print, it's really a thriller dressed up like a horror film isn't even the problem. It's an aggressively stupid movie. I mean, it's written without the slightest grasp of what intelligence is or why it's so important. The movie has no point, other than to rip off Se7en but it wants to get under the audience's skin. It got under my skin alright: because it was so unbelievably idiotic. Everything about it was pandering to what the lowest common denominator would find clever. The characters are dumped in a pile and have all the depth you find on detective TV shows; the flashier ones from the last decade, that is. And to make up for the fact that the movie has no intensity about it, they speed up shots and cut to LOUD SCREAMING music video images. That's clearly some form of overcompensation because the movie would be considered weak by the kids who liked it if it didn't do something. And... don't even get me started on Jigsaw. I'll just say, without going into any detail on just why that character is one of the major reasons horror is dead right now, that too many people like this movie mostly because of the traps. And the movie has a reputation for being gory but... I saw it. I couldn't tell you one violent thing that happened. Except Danny Glover died. Somehow.

I thought it was a great series despite it not being entirely too unique as Cube (97) I think it was, started that trap concept.
Regardless, the first one was the best and the last one was not as good but still worth watching for fans. Although I have a feeling that Saw 8 will suck as they are stretching the series a bit too much by now...
